प्रश्न

A man buys an article for ₹ 150 and makes overhead expenses which are 12% of the cost price. At what price must he sell it to gain 5%?

विकल्प

  • ₹ 180

  • ₹ 168

  • ₹ 176.40

  • ₹ 88.20

MCQ

उत्तर

₹ 176.40

Explanation;

Hint:

Cost price of article = ₹ 150

Overhead expenses = 12% of cost price

= `12/100 xx 150`

= ₹ 18

∴ Effective cost of article = 150 + 18 = ₹ 168

Now, to gain 5%, he has to sell at

S.P = `"C.P" xx ((100 + "gain"%)/100)`

= `168 xx (((100 + 5))/100)`

= 168 × 1.05

= 176.40
